embrace the camera - may 19

this past weekend, we participated in our local relay for life event benefiting the american cancer society.  actually, it has been a long time coming, since our team started collecting donations and hosting fundraisers as early as november of last year. 

i was honored to be a part of Team MargaRELAYville, a group of dedicated women with one goal in mind and heart: to raise money for the american cancer society in hopes of seeing a cure in our lifetime. many of my team members, including myself, have lost a mother or father to cancer, and we don't want our own children to ever have to feel the devastation and hurt that it brought us. 

through everyone's hard work and dedication and the support of our wonderful family and friends, Team MargaRELAYville finished the event at 2nd place in online donations and 3rd place overall for the entire event! we also won the team trailblazer award and came in 2nd place for spirit points. it would be a total understatement to say that WE ROCKED IT! and we are gonna kick cancer's ass.

so we walk...and walk...and walk.

this year, the lap theme that my little family walked for was called "bizarre braziers" for raising awareness in breast cancer. everyone walking during that theme was encouraged to decorate a bra and wear it outside their clothing. and that i did...for myself and shawn.

shawn walked the track and seems to be embracing his bosom well.

today's embrace is being hosted over at buggie & jellybean because emily is one super sick prego lady! i hope she feels better really quickly!

happy thursday to all!
